Load testing: The key to keeping business applications running

Every business depends on applications to automate its core business processes. These applications must be constantly available for partners, customers, employees, and other stakeholders. But when applications are under peak demand, they can often become inaccessible or perform unacceptably, resulting in lost orders, unhappy customers, and damaged reputations. The challenge of dealing with peak loads has increased in recent years, with today's applications growing in complexity and the volume of usage increasing at a head-spinning pace.

This white paper examines how load testing addresses these challenges to keep business applications running smoothly. It also looks at various implementation strategies and recommends tactics for getting the most out of your load testing investment.
